MAY 26: JOHNB’S RACING TIPS AND CHAT

JOHNB lost two points on Monday and while he accepts he’s on a bad run May is still showing a profit of 17.95 points.

That shows why it’s important to back all tips for long-term profits.

Johnb’s Tuesdays Tip

Lingfield 4.10
Suitsus 5-1 NB Ladbrokes

Leicester 4.30
Alfajer 11-4 NAP Bet365 Ladbrokes

Double
Suitsus & Alfajer 21.5-1 Ladbrokes

Johnb says: Alfajer’s last run at Doncaster in a Class 3 handicap was far stronger than anything Rosalie Bonheur has run in. Watching all of Alfajer’s runs so far she is improving with every run and she still looks to have bags of improvement in her.

“I also think it was a smart move by Marco Botti running Alfajer over 1 mile last time (first run this season) because that will have brought her on a lot for this drop back to 7 furlongs. The jockey booking is also a big plus with James Doyle booked and I am not surprised to see the money coming for Alfajer.”

Rosalie Bonheur was in a class 2 last time but it was a fillies Nursery class 2 which isnt that strong as a Nursery race is weak and this class 4 handicap is alot stronger for her

I’m going to haydock Saturday Kev, was going to york but baulked at paying £88 on the train.
Any pointers would be appreciated, though the card is probably full of those impossible Saturday 20 runner handicaps which are bookies benefit races.

Kev/Jake..believe there are about 18 declared at this stage. Forgotten Voice,Clever Cookie,Elidor and Vent de Force to name a few. You will get them online at RP after 12 today.Me I will wait till Thursday and see what the weather holds.

I will change my NAP later as it was going to be same as Postmans,Foxcover whom Ive already backed at 6/1. Ive mentioned the small string Dore has before, and his strike rate with Halley.At that price far too big so GL

Only one ive backed so far is SINGEUR 4.50 redcar got 10s last night. There are one or two more i like and will put up later but its all about value and modest stakes as i just get the feeling it could all go pete tong today.
Back later

Ive had a small ew on MARY MCPHEE 33/1 4.30 leic. Not going against john as ive also backed his nap but Hills yard is going very well lately with 4 wins and 3 places from his last 11 runners and id expect her to come on from her first run. Hopefully can sneak a place.
And 2 at hexham im going for are MORNING TIME 8.10 who if he can get his finger out is well in on the weights and NORTHERN EXECUTIVE 8.40. 2 X EW singles and an ew double.

The opening 6f fillies’ maiden could be quite an informative affair with several of the top Newmarket yards represented, but punters only want to be with one horse, Tutu Nguru, who is now as short as 4-6 having been around 6-4 this morning. William Haggas’ US-bred filly cost connections $175,000 as a yearling.
Richard Hannon has a 40% strike-rate with 2yo newcomers at Lingfield but Lolla Fincess has been weak in the market this morning, possibly in the face of the strength of support for the favourite.

Meritocracy is the one for money in the feature 5f handicap and Paul Cole’s 4yo has been backed into 3-1 (from 5-1) to overcome his tricky wide draw.

There has been a very interesting move for Kevin Ryan’s Thowar who has been punted into as short as 8-1 from 20s in the last hour. There has also been support at big prices for Jimmy’s Hall (20-1 into 12-1) who has previously looked in the grip of the assessor this season.

A couple have been supported in the second division of the fillies’ maiden at 5.10. Pensionnat (9-1 into 5-1) is clearly expected to leave her debut run behind while the beautifully-bred Entity has proved strong at the head of the market (2-1 into 7-4).

Hey guys just want to ask a question – why does Johnb put tips up on hard races the 2 today were awfull and yesterday – i only look upon this sit from time to time but for a tipster he seems to ick horses in the hardest of races
No one forces us to take them i know this, but why tip horses in such bad races which is often the case. yes during the month he get winners but why put horses up everyday – as im not even sure he really fancies them himself 100 percent but seems to feel pressured into tipping everyday
alot of you may not like what im saying but its just my opinion

Andy, most of your comment is nonsense. Firstly, he’s not pressured into tipping every day. Only he can answer about picking hard races but to say he’s putting up selections he doesn’t fancy is ridiculous.

I see clem had a nice 12/1 and Rookie with yet another winner and apologies if i missed anyone so well done guys. Glad some were on Singeur. Maybe i should have left it at that we shall see.
on we go gl with your bets later

Andy, you are talking garbage. Johnb is the racing expert on this thread and has far superior racing knowledge to yourself and others. He has supplied me with a steady stream of Profit and winners. You can not judge him after no winners in 4 days. Johnb will bounce back and that’s a fact.

yous obviously dont see where im coming from im sure there will be those who agree with me and those who wont

I never in any post said he des not make profit in the month – someone would need to follow every tip and put on the right amount of money to get something back
someone just starting on site over past few days would be down – and to me its putting up silly gambles on hard races – each to there own
if its making you money well done carry on.

Those with good memories may recall I hve tipped that bloody Sampera the last twice it has run last time saying “needs further” when it didn’t stay 12f I deleted it from my tracker .I am now a a wee bit upset GL.

Interesting card at Cartmel tomorrow with both Crawford and Elliott sending a few over. Waiting to see what prices pp puts up but will be backing THE ABSENT MARE 7/4 3.20 for elliott and ALTERNATIF evs 3.50 for pipe/scu in a double. Prices are with b365 and i dont see the prices lasting
gl

Said it time and time again I don’t get pressured into posting tips everyday
I only tip horses I believe will win
There are no hard races or easy races but there are horses that stand out
Sadly though these horses are not machines and just like humans can have off days

In the past I have been slated for the way I pick horses, I don’t just go on form which upset people in the past but my long term record says I am doing something right
If picking winners was just about reading form then there would be less bookies
I think outside the box by trying to second guess trainers because as I have said before trainers are creatures of habit and stick to what works just like me because for years I have stuck to what works
I don’t guarantee profits every month but I will get yearly profits
I would also like monthly profits to be higher but only one losing month this year “January” is still good going in my book
Yes the last four days have been bad but May is still showing a decent profit and who knows how the last few days of May will go but I won’t change how I pick horses

I was putting stats up because that’s what people wanted but also to prove you can make a profit from racing which has been proved on here over the last 18 months and will continue to this year and next year
For anyone that’s just started following I know its hard but what I keep preaching is Patience and level stakes

Well posted again DC,great price with Singeur and Clem with Outlaw Torn and Noodles blue Boy and others who tipped winners Well done So 2 gold stars on their way and Ill have a mention in despatches for not backing Gold Medallion.5.30
Last one is 3,4,and 10 combination in the 8.30 Ballinrobe
Onwards
